Old-fashioned chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food. This recipe has tender chicken, fluffy dumplings, hearty vegetables, and a savory broth.
Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 teaspoons baking powder. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 cup milk. 2 tablespoons butter. 2 stalks celery, diced. 2 carrots, diced. 1 onion, diced. 4 cups chicken broth. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Put flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix them together. Add milk and mix well to make a soft dough. On a floured surface, roll out the dough and cut it into dumplings. Melt the butter in a big pot over medium-low heat. Put in the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until it gets soft. Put chicken pieces and chicken broth in the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it cook slowly for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Put the dumplings into the broth that is already simmering. Put the lid on and cook for 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are fully cooked. You can add chopped parsley now. Add pepper and salt to taste. Enjoy while hot!
